The 31-year-old has rounded off a fine year by beating Lionel Messi and Antonie Griezmann to the Ballon d'Or award. 

His new boot features his 'CR7' branding and has gold plating on the bottom to commemorate his outstanding year. 

Nike have named the boot 'vitorias' as the Portuguese word translates to 'victories' in English. 

Ronaldo, who is currently in Japan for the FIFA Club World Cup, said of his fourth Ballon d'Or win: 'In my head, I have always considered myself to be different from the others. 

'So, I believed that I could be the best player in the world. 

'But a trophy of this magnitude is dependent on multiple factors. I could not have been certain of anything, because it did not entirely depend on me.

'I thought that I could win it once, not four times.'
